    Strange cotton Afrika Cuff

    I would like to get some opinions on this strange cotton Afrika Cuff title.
    Comes from an old collection, so most likely a 70's fake or something alike.
    But better check first before throwing in the box.

    Thanks for looking.

    I have never seen one like it. The base material looks like polyester but not sure.

      You're right, the cuff is a bad fake with no chance.

        It certainly isn't meant to be copying an original in materials but the stitching is excellent and I would suggest it may have been made post-war for veterans. A few Afrika vets I knew had post-war cuff titles in their possession.

          It is not an original wartime cufftitle.
          This pattern is close to the one used on post war production (probably, as pointed out by Pauke, for vets).

          My books:


          - THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
          - THE SS TK RING
          - THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
          - THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
          - THE AWARDS OF THE LW

          and more!

            Resembles a known post war copy & the fake bullion Afrika ct. {the so called "officers" version) It could be for a vet or just another fake.
